Fencamfamin is a camphane derivative, although lacking typical sympathomimetic properties. It is structurally related to the phenylethylamines. It is a central nervous stimulant with pharmacological properties similar to amphetamine. Fencamfamin developed primarily as appetite suppressant or pscyhostimulant, not to increase awareness. Fencamfamin reduces REM sleep and prevents fatigue in subjects deprived of sleep. Fencamfamin raises a mood.
